The salon of the Catana 471 can accommodate up to ten people, and the ocean view can be enjoyed even when seated at the table. A double cabin with a large bed and two gigantic portholes offer a superb sea view from the berth as well as from the bathroom located forward in the hull. The very spacious passageway is fitted out with a generous variety of cupboards and hanging lockers. The cockpit is vast. Two offset and raised helm stations make sail trimming easy and allow the helmsman to keep an eye on the boat and its crew all of the time. Mainsail maneuver and reefing are all handled by a central electric winch on the aft beam. With the totally flush deck there are no ropes or hatches to get in the way. Circulation is easy, because the deck is completely flat and free of pitfalls. The very tight trampoline net is the perfect place for a siesta.
